Active matrix substrate, a liquid crystal panel, a display device, a television receiver, and methods of correcting and producing the substrate and panel

An active matrix substrate in which wherever a short between adjacent pixel electrodes of a liquid crystal panel is located in peripheral portions of the pixel electrodes, the short can be efficiently corrected without forming both short-circuited pixels into black dots, and a liquid crystal panel having the active matrix substrate, as well as methods of correcting the AM substrate and the liquid crystal panel. Each of pixel electrodes arranged in a matrix in an active matrix substrate is divided into a plurality of minute regions, and the minute regions are integrally connected by electrically connecting portions. A plurality of lines arranged to transmit signals to each of the pixel electrodes are placed so as not to coincide with the electrically connecting portions of each of the pixel electrodes.
